"Successful stadiums in the UK like Tottenham's Whitehart Lane and West Ham's are in the middle of dense residential areas. No LA Galaxy-like suburban Home Depot parking lots for them. And they work fine. They are part of the fabric of the neighbourhood." - Rusty

You can add Wrigley Field in Chicago to that list as well... it is one of the best examples of a neighbourhood stadium. You have to make the stadium more appealing than a concrete box though. With a little character, stadiums can be excellent additions to urban neighbourhoods. But I guess some folks prefer a brown field in the middle of their neighbourhood?
